Muslim Brotherhood symbol.

Broadcast 18:
This is the first broadcast of the World and Us for 2011. Points discussed include:
  • Wiki leaks on NZ motives for claiming Israeli passport forgers were members of Mossad

  • Morry stresses close comparision Egypt now -- Iran then
  • History of Muslim Brotherhood.
  • Islamisation in Egypt -- Female genital mutilation statistics.
  • Muslim Brotherhood members released from jails in Egypt.
  • Statements by the guy envusaged as interim leader before total Muslim Brotherhood takeover.

Broadcast 14:
Morry and Gabby discuss the world-wide response to the decree of a group of Israeli rabbis that renting or selling houses in Israel to non-Jews is forbidden. Within Israel, prominent leaders, including Prime Minister Netianyahu and President Peres have loudly condemned the ruling. In Australia the Zionist Federation have added to the condemnation. World-wide many rabbis have condemned the ruling as contrtary to halakah. Elsewise, the issue is widely reported. But meanwhile the Palestine Authority has made it a capital crime to sell any land or residential appartment to a Jew. This barbaric legislation has not even been mentioned in the Age or the SMH. Nor is reported by such Israel bashers that the PA has named squares streets and sports centres after kindergarten murderers, suicide bombers and others guilty of the most heinous crimes within Israel.

On the Legal Basis for Israel
At the San Remo Conference, April 25, 1920, England France Italy Japan (with the US as observer) carved up the pre-War Ottoman Empire into the three mandates of Iraq, Syria and Palestine. This agreement was assented to by 51 countries and by the League of Nations. The San Remo Resolution included the 1917 Balfour Declaration, designating Palestine as the Jewish homeland.

The Maabarot

Many of the 975,000 Jews expelled from Middle Eastern and North African countries who came to Israel were placed in tent cities called maabarot. Some families lived as long as twenty years in maabarot before moving to regular housing. Here are some scenes of maabarot life in Israel in the early years of the reformed state.
